Nystagmus is not a disease. It is a descriptive medical term for an anatomic ocular manifestation. It can be horizontal, vertical or oscillatory. It is something that can be either congenital or acquired. If it is congenital, it is generally benign. If acquired, it could be a sign of a neurologic condition that needs work-up.
